About
Gratitude—and a single, heartfelt message of hope from my mother—changed the trajectory of my life.
​​​
My name is Mike Fana . As an immigrant child in the late 1980s, I arrived in a small city just north of Boston, overwhelmed by the unknown. I struggled with identity, belonging, and the heavy burden of starting over. But amidst the confusion, my mother’s words lit a spark that carried him through my darkest moments.
​​
That message guided me to become the first in my immediate family to attend college in the U.S (Berklee), land a position at a global financial firm, and even gave me the courage to audition for America’s Got Talent. Yet none of those milestones compare to the moment I stood in front of a group of incarcerated teens—sharing my story, my failures, and the difficult life choices that shaped my path.
​It was in their hugs, their eyes filled with hope, and the words they shared with me afterward that I understood: this is my purpose. That precise moment gave birth to The Anatolia Workshop and passionate work I do today in uplifting students from all walks of life.
​​
I would be honored for the opportunity to share my techniques, stories, and passionate energy with your wonderful students. Not just as a facilitator, but as someone who once sat where many of them sit now—uncertain, unheard, and unsure of their own potential. I believe they deserve to hear that transformation is possible, and that they, too, can spark their own future.
Love is the invisible wire that connects our heart's best intentions.
